What are Abductor Characteristics and Factors?
What will be an ideal response?
First, they most often have a prior visual sighting of the victim, and the initial contact is frequently made at or near the home. Second, the motivation for the crime is often sexual in nature. The victim is usually a girl younger than 14 years old, and the suspect is usually an unemployed white male with a criminal re- cord.
The duration of a kidnapping episode is usually less than 24 hours (90 percent). Only fewer than 10 percent last longer than one day. Nonfamily abductions (stereotypical kidnappings) show the same patterns, although 30 percent of them last less than three hours. The most dramatic difference between nonfamily abductions and family abductions is in the treatment of the victim. In 99 percent of nonfamily abductions, the child is returned alive. In nonfamily abductions, a safe return occurs only 57 percent of the time. Ominously, the child suffers a sexual or physical assault in an astounding 86 percent of stereotypical kidnappings.
